Description from the seller
Now available at auction from Second Vintage
A classic vintage Hamilton elevated by a beautiful textured dial and an engaging display caseback. This 1960s automatic model stands out through its intricate wave-patterned dial, contrasting black-insert indices, and a beautifully presented 25-jewel Swiss movement.
Brand: Hamilton
Model: Hamilton Automatic (34062)
Reference Number: 6234
Movement: Automatic, 25 jewels
Dial: Silver-tone with wave texture, applied gold-tone indices with black inserts, date at 3 o'clock
Case Size: 35 mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Base metal bezel, stainless steel back
Production Year: 1960s
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Timegrapher: -1-3s/day, performing remarkably well.
Dial and Hands
The silver-tone dial features a distinctive wave texture that catches the light beautifully. It is set with applied gold-tone faceted indices featuring black inserts, complemented by a neatly framed date window at three o'clock. The dial presents a clean surface with no visible staining or significant patina, remaining in excellent preserved condition. Time is indicated by gold-tone dauphine hands that match the dial furniture perfectly, displaying a clean finish with minimal signs of oxidation.
Case and Crystal
The case features a gold-tone finish and is fitted with a smooth integrated bezel. The exterior exhibits honest wear consistent with age, retaining a good overall shape while showing visible scratches and scuffs, particularly on the bezel and lugs. The gold-tone finish displays moderate surface wear, and the signed crown, featuring a vintage stylized 'H' logo, shows some wear to the plating on its edges. The reverse is fitted with a stainless steel caseback ring marked for a base metal bezel, complete with a display window to view the movement. A domed acrylic crystal protects the dial, remaining clear with no significant scratches or crazing visible.
Movement
Visible through the display caseback is a clean automatic movement. The rotor and bridges show no obvious signs of corrosion or damage, bearing crisp Hamilton and twenty-five jewel Swiss engravings. Exhibiting remarkable accuracy and consistency, performing brilliantly for a vintage timepiece.
Strap
The watch is fitted with an attractive black leather strap featuring white contrast stitching, presenting in near-new condition.
Condition
Excellent vintage condition. The dial and hands are strikingly preserved, showcasing the intricate texture without significant aging. The case displays honest wear, with visible scratches, scuffs, and some plating wear on the bezel, lugs, and crown. The crystal is clear. Supported by the timegrapher results, the movement is performing very strongly.
Dimensions
The case size is 35 mm (excluding the crown).
Remarks
This Hamilton offers a compelling combination of mid-century design and mechanical engagement. The striking textured dial and the ability to view the 25-jewel automatic movement make it a highly enjoyable vintage timepiece.
History
During the 1960s, Hamilton continued to transition its production from American-made calibers to reliable Swiss movements while maintaining the elegant styling that defined the brand. Models from this era often feature refined mid-century design elements, such as dauphine hands and textured dials, offering collectors a superb blend of traditional aesthetics and robust automatic watchmaking.
